To start viewing messages,In any swap, there are a few major parts you will need: Pilot Bearing- get it new, and you must have it. It goes into the transmission inlet on the block. Flywheel: depending on how much cash you have, you may as well get a lightweight flywheel. They are more expensive, but they improve drivetrain efficiency as well as making the engine much more responsive to throttle input. Pedal Cluster: now you need three pedals. Big shock, right? Transmission: the primary component. This is an item that is usually upgraded with a short shift kit. Get one, as it is usually regarded as one of the best mods one can do to their car, aside from chipping. Guibo: a device designed to absorb vibration; it is pretty much a rubber torroid. It bolts to the transmission and the driveshaft. Get one new. Clutch: Get a clutch kit, rather than an individual clutch, as it will save hassle. Sachs is the standard, with several other brands being used in racing and high-power applications. Very important to feel of shifts. The kit should include a Throw Out (TO) bearing, pressure plate, clutch, and possibly an alignment tool. Clutch Master and Slave cylinders: These make the clutch pedal actually do something, so they are important. Clutch slaves usually start to go around 100k miles, masters around 150k. Lastly, while not always a part, the driveshaft may need to be altered to accommodate a manual transmission. More often than not, the stock manual version also came with a differently-geared differential. It is not required to change differentials to get the swap to work, but since you will be down there, may as well put in a Limited Slip Differential (LSD) to make the car handle better. Entirely up to you. Basics: The transmission must bolt to the motor-This is not as simple as it may sound. Before you buy anything, you must be absolutely certain that your transmission will bolt to the motor.

Conversion plates are not unheard of, but they are extremely expensive and must be custom made. In other words, lots of money. Onto specifics: I’ll start with the E28, as it is a fairly simple car, and there is an excellent walkthrough already made for the chassis. The 524td is a very rare car stateside, so I’ll leave it out. The good news is all these cars have interchangeable transmissions. Also, this body style got BMWs strongest transmission to date, the Getrag 265. Hence, it is sought after quite a bit by enthusiasts. There is a list of various transmissions used in 80s BMWs on Metric Mechanic’s online catalogue, as well as some good reading about the various transmissions. (ratios, reliability, etc.) This is the easiest modern 5-er to do the swap on, as the electronics are downright simple compared to even an E34. This will give you the Getrag 265 and a cheapo motor to pawn. It should also be the easiest car to find and be the cheapest. But I digress. Walkthrough: Hopefully that walkthrough answered most of your questions. Onwards, to the E34. This is the second easiest to swap, mostly because the electronics are pretty unobtrusive. The most common swap is for the 540, as they only made it for 2 years, one of which they offered a manual. Thankfully, one of our wise forum members posted a parts list for the swap. As for the actual procedure, it is much like a normal swap. Do the mechanicals, sort out the electricals. I still need a shift knob and boot, too. E34 manuals are pretty rare overall, so don’t be discouraged if you can’t find one. The transmissions for the other engine types (M20, M50, M50TU, M30) can be taken from other cars with the same engine. For example, the transmission from a M50 powered 1992 325 will fit on a M50 powered 525. As a side note, the transmissions from the E28 will bolt up to any M30 powered E34, as the E28 used the M30 motor as well.
http://www.gostproject.ru/media/craftsman-35-230-welder-manual.xml
(Gotta love an engine that was in production from 1968-1993) The other motor, the Motorsport S38 can also bolt up to M30 transmissions. Now for the bad news- E39: Ah, the E39. An excellent car, right up until the point where you try to mess with it. This car is wired more than a mobster’s phone. Quite simply, with the car values as they sit and the increased number of manuals floating around, it is not worth it to do a manual swap on an E39. All told, a swap in an E39 takes more than triple the time it does on an E34 or E28 because of the electronics, even though mechanically, it is the same procedure. In order to get the E39 to even turn over after a swap, you have to replace the dash cluster, the DME, and fake out the car into thinking the late transmission computer is still spewing signals. In other words, it costs nearly 8k in parts, regardless of model. (Assuming new parts) Yep, costs the same to swap a 525 as a 540. Lame, isn’t it? E60 and beyond: I fully expect BMW to make the car give you an electric shock to prevent you from doing any upkeep on the car. It only gets worse from the E39. So, in summation, the last 5-er you can realistically do a swap in is the E34, it is not cheap, it is not for the faint-of-hands, and should run about 3-6k depending on the quality of parts used.If you get a 260, then the bellhousing is not easily swapable. If you mean taking the trans from a 3-series car, like a 325 or 325e, those might work, as the clutch sizes are the same. (228mm) Any M10 based car will not work, however, as their clutch size is smaller, meaning the bellhousing is smaller. I highly doubt they changed the block specifically for the 528e over the 325e, so I would say those cars had the same bellhousing bolt patterns, and realoem says they both used the Gertrag 260 as their trans. Like I said, try to make sure everything bolts up first, before you buy. A pick-n-pull would help the most with that, as then you can just measure everything.

The diameter of the bellhousing is different, the bolt pattern is different, and the M30 tranny bolts to the motor with a couple of 8mm bolts while the M20 uses all 10mm bolts. Like xatlas0 said, you can swap the bell housing on the 265, but the 260 series tranny's are one piece housings. I've found a 260 series in an '85 528e that is M20 patterned and ready to go in soon, very soon. On another note, if you have an early e34 (89-91) you might have the clutch return spring mount on your pedal assembly already, meaning that all you need is the clutch and brake pedal from your donor car.I do not know what kind of labor rates you guys have over there, so the 10k value is pretty meaningless. I would suggest finding a shop and getting an estimate that you can hold them to. 2. There is one type of transmission used in the V8-s, the Getrag S6S 420G. You can use the M5 trans, you can use the 540 trans, you can use the 840 trans, if you can find a manual one. You may even be able to use the trans from an 850CSi, but I would make sure that fits in the tunnel and mounts properly before you buy one. 3. Answered in 2. 4. Perhaps, perhaps not. It will still probably need to be reprogrammed. 5. Yes, you will need to replace your driveshaft, as the auto and manual transmissions are different lengths. You should not need to replace your halfshafts unless you chnge to a M5 diff, and even then, I would imagine it is optional. 6. Hope it helps. As a side note, if you want to get the requirements of such a swap straight from someone who did it, call up a shop here called Performing Imports, in Alpharetta, GA. Ron performed the E39 540 6 speed swap, so he can tell you everything that is required.They both have the same model number and are designated by the same names in realoem, so I am not so sure.

The trans you are considering went into the E39 body style, and I kinda doubt they moved the block around too much with the M5 when compared to the 540, so all the mounting hardware should mate just fine. I suppose you could use a M5 driveshaft. As for used parts costs, I really don't know what the market is like in HK. They usually run for about 1-2k in working condition in the US. The costs of parts alone varies with the required electrical components. Like I said, the electronics drive up the parts cost significantly, usually often doubling the mechanical parts costs. Plus, the HK market is probably different than the US market for these parts.It will be rather difficult to get them to trust that you aren't a scammer, though. As for the specific parts required, I am unsure, I have heard conflicting reports. That is why I suggested calling Performing Imports, as they actually know.Should give me a good idea of how strong it is. Are there any parts (gear ratios) interchangeable between 260,262,265,280, etc trannies. I live overseas and Beemer trannies can be had for a dime a dozen here.The most common source of failure is synchro failure. The 265 used studier synchros than the 260. The main thing that affects synchro life, however, is the driver, as many people have reported failing synchros in E39 540s and M5s. Proper upkeep of the transmission is also important.As such, the shafts and gears in the CR box are arranged differently, and I doubt they would mesh well in the OD setup. You could try though, or give someone like Metric Mechanic a call, as they can do custom ratios in their transmissions. It doesn't help there are several versions of the 280, each with different strength ratings. I'd use the 265 for the ease of replacement and cheapness of rebuilding, personally. The seperate bellhousing is quite nice. Should give me a good idea of how strong it is. I live overseas and Beemer trannies can be had for a dime a dozen here.
Hm, I think I still have it up, if you are interested. It is from the factory blue books: It seems VERY small in the rebuild manual. What's the input shaft diameter for M30 Beemers? 10splines x 27mm?It seems VERY small in the rebuild manual. What's the input shaft diameter for M30 Beemers? 10splines x 27mm? I don't know the number of splines, unfortunately.The unit is identical to the 262, expect for that third section, which they added for the other gear. In terms of telling the two apart, other than checking the part numbers, you could o a quick test by hooking up a shifter to the unit and feeling for the gates, since the shift pattern of the OD and CR boxes are different.If you wanna manual E34 just buy another E34. Price sounds like the same unless you get some mad deals on the tranny and various parts. I'll stick with my auto Now the tranny in question is a 3-piece unit, and has a 262 casting number on the intermediate housing (the one between the bellhousing and the tail housing). I don't quite recall if it was sand-cast or die-cast but I can check tomorrow. Is surface roughness a surefire indication of tranny type. Remember, we're limited to visual cues here, and the tranny is missing any sort of ID tagDigital Point modules: Sphinx-based search. I’m toying with the idea of converting my 2002 E39 525i Touring from Auto to manual. I am more than capable of doing the work myself, I just don’t want to get to a stage during the conversion and hit some pain in the bum snags. I know some will ask why. Well it’s simple. I like my car and I have put a lot of time, work and money in to it to get it how I want. If I looked at replacing it I’d only have to start all over again. Thanks, Mark. Though in practise it's not really noticeable. You don't need to change the pedal box. Just change the brake pedal and fit the clutch pedal to the pivot that's already there and bolt up the clutch master cylinder.
Make sure you have all the hydraulic lines and hoses as well as the clutch pedal switch and wiring. You'll also need to put a spigot bearing into the crankshaft. The mechanicals are very easy to swap over. The auto wiring in a 525i is modular on its own loom, so most of it is very easy to remove. The hardest part of the swap is understanding how to code the car from auto to manual. Thanks, Mark. You need to fit a clutch pedal switch (and wiring obviously) for cruise control operation. Rosie. Update DME software (flash with WinKFP) to software number 7545661. Thanks, Mark. I have to say it does not mean a great deal at the moment. I think I will have to treat myself to NCS EXPERT and start playing. Code all modules (Code Car). Update DME software (flash with WinKFP) to software number 7545661. Thanks, Mark. You'll see when you're under there and offering up the manual cradle. I've always thought that the body was the same on all models. What year was that E39 you had to mod? Cruise is on DME, one wire from MFL buttons on steering wheel, no changes there. Diff has no electrics connected. For the switch you'll need voltage and ground which are probably easiest stolen from brake pedal switch (has the same supply source anyway). Then one line to DME. The spanner work I can do but the electrics more so the re coding is of concern. I would want the finished result to be as if the car had rolled off the production line as a manual. Can it be said for sure that this is a doable and worth while exercise that will result in me having a manual, error and trouble free car? The vehicle can be altered so that it matches a model with manual gearbox from the factory. It's not 'easy'. It's hours spent lying on your back (do you have a lift?) with problem after problem after problem. No matter how carefully you drain it, there will always be auto box oil pissing out of somewhere.
Coolant dripping from somewhere because you need to adapt the radiator from auto to manual - it's only a blanking plug for where the cooler pipes go but. Changing pedals is technically simple but with the drivers seat fitted it's bloody awkward. Undoing the bell housing bolts and finding one has corroded into the bell housing? It happens. Then you have to set up the self adjusting clutch cover, heave a heavy gearbox into place, fit a slave cylinder, fit the steel cross pipe, bleed the clutch out, sort out the starter inhibitor, find out why the TRANS PROGRAM can't be programmed out of the cluster despite repeated attempts. Drill out and replace snapped exhaust manifold bolts. I've done this to quite a few older BMW's and it's never 'easy'. There is always a hitch. The job could be quite straightforward but could also be a nightmare. The end result will be the same car where you now have to change gears yourself rather than a sophisticated auto box doing it for you. A good used auto box is a better idea. EDIT: I don't think you need to change the diff. The automatic has an overdrive effect 5th gear but the manual is direct drive 1:1. It's easy! Sign in here.

At the moment it drives mostly normal, just sits at higher revs than it needs to, and first gear is accompanied by a jolt like i stabbed the brakes, also a rather grating noise at idle on cold start. The end result is an excellent combo though, the M62 engine pairs so incredibly well with the g420 6-speed.Swapping in summer would also give me 6 months to very carefully shop for good deals on manual transmission sets, and possibly save a good chunk of change on parts.

I'm finding a lot of threads on e39 boards by losers that pay people to work on thier car for them which contain very little info. The swap itself is no problem but I do need to know what kind of programming would be required to make the car driveable without a check engine light. I would like to retain the functionality of the DSC and cruise control as well but these are not essential. I'm anticipating a transmission failure in the wife's 2000 528i since its got 122k miles and thats just what those cars do. Its working fine for now but they don't usually give much warning. I'm finding a lot of threads on e39 boards by losers that pay people to work on thier car for them which contain very little info. Also there's much more of a hands on attitude on the E36 boards and likely the E46, but I haven't gotten into one of them yet, and most of it should translate as long as the components are the same. There is a very poor signal to noise ratio on the E36 board though, you have to filter an awful lot. Its working fine for now but they don't usually give much warning. Maybe, maybe not.

I'm wondering if anyone has converted a 530i from automatic to manual transmission, if they have how hard it was, and what basic parts are needed. I'm assuming a different computer is necessary but I'm worried that there may be transmission specific wiring needed. Anyone have any thoughts?
DavidWith mapquest, google maps, or a map in hand, you can pretty much search all BMW craigslist ads for all major metropolitan areas in fairly short order, without having to click through the menus and re-enter the search criteria for each time. If anyone knows how to get google to search current craigslist ads from all across the country in one fell swoop, I'm all ears, but I haven't had luck trying to use google to search current craigslist ads and get comprehensive, current listings. Try a nationwide search on autotrader.com, plus there's cars.com. Google up car sale websites, presumably you'll find more sites to search that way. Here's one in black, the 6th I opted to look at out of the top 21 listings for a Miami-area craigslist search for 'BMW 530i' Craigslist ads can disappear at the drop of a hat, if you find a car you want to follow up on, don't just bookmark it, either note the pertinent information, or prtscr (or alt-prtscr, or ctrl-prtscr, depending what you want to capture) a screenshot of the ad and save it as a graphic image for reference later; (open ms Paint, or another graphics program, and paste the screenshot into the program, then save). Don't forget to search ebay. If you're willing to pay for a clean one, if you do enough searching, I imagine you'll find one before having to resort to converting an automatic.But if you wnat to do it more power to you.With it I can search all the major car sites like cars.com, ebay.com, and craigslist plus on craigslist it will automatically search all the city listings. I just recently found a car in my own town so I had my mechanic check it out. It wasn't up to his standard so I passed. I keep my cars for a long time so if I'm going to buy I want to get exactly what I want. At the very minimum 2002-03 530i, sport package There just aren't that many cars that fit my specs. I'm still looking. David. I can get it for about R 9500 (anyone think I can get better price?
) has anyone done a swap like this on the V8's ?? also, anyone know of any issues that might be lurking, I allready know I need a new driveshaft and diff and stuff.The price for that box is good, take it. The E39 M5 owners only have 1 Siemens DME ECU inside the box under their cabin vent filter- but the automatic E39 cars have 2 Bosch Motronic 5.2 DME units sitting beside each other- one engine, one automatic gearbox brain. The problem is that in a nutshell, when the key goes in the ignition, a unique ISN security code number is transmitted to the EWS system. This then verifies that the gearbox is in PARK, via another coded number, and relays this back to the EWS system, which then sends another coded ISN to the starter motor and the car will crank over. It is waaay more compicated than that though, and if the auto gearbox is gone, and the auto gearbox DME unit is removed, the car will not start. Also, the engine DME for an automatic car, is slightly different to the DME for a manual car, in that it interprets signal inputs from the engine for load, speed, etc, and then relays them to the automatic gearbox DME, which then alters ratios, etc to suit road conditions. Physically bolting everything in is the easiest part. The programming will be the biggest headache. I would say its better to buy another car, rather than try this. Including the instrument cluster, EWS, engine DME, ABS, etc. A software reflash or update from Dinan or whoever, is not going to be enough to reset your instrument cluster, EWS security system and ABS electronics I would think. I may be wrong- maybe they have something for auto to manual conversions, but it just seems unlikely, with all the complexities involved. The E39's body electronics management systems were not made to be reverse engineered, or altered, because BMW didnt envision that. I've been considering pulling out the 3.5L V8 from my car, and bolting in the more common 4.4L V8 out of a 540i of the same year.
But even that is a major headache, because I cant put the 540i DME into my 535i to run the new V8- the 540i DME wont communicate with the 535i EWS system, and after looking at it at length and talking to BMW AG in Germany, its too expensive to bother with, and not worth it. It may be possible, but nobodys ever done it. And I'm not brave enough to screw with my cars electronics systems, because it could get expensive. (Disclaimer: I may not be 100 accurate, but I think thats the gist of what you're up against. If you want 540i wiring diagrams and schematics, PM me)'' Here's another I found. Oh well, I'm gonna do it. I saw a post from a bmw tech who's done it and he says its quite easy actually, and all this crap about ecu swapping and stuff aint neccesary.I'll post what he said justnow. Just trying to figure out if I can do this at home or if I need to take it to a shop to help me.I think I'm gonna go ahead and buy that gearbox now, woot !. (Uber, If I can't get it to work bro, we can put it in your car).I'm guessing once it's started, you should be good. Might have some other things. Also, as long as the EWS system thinks all is well by any means, it should work. It's a computer like the rest.Do you know if hte e34 LSD is a direct swap in for the e39 or not?I think I'll have to get a custom driveshaft made, hope I can find a nice LSD somewhere to go with this baby.I will ask him if he is willing to do it. Find more here. The former was never offered in a V8 E39 wagon, and the latter should give the 4.4 liter slightly more power than the 4.9 from the same chassis M5. This color is also quite handsome, and the car looks well-kept inside and out. In addition to the power upgrades, the seller has made some largely tasteful exterior upgrades. These include HID lighting and a hatch wing, both said to be Euro-spec. An M-tech front bumper and blacked out trim look good as well, though the headlight eyelids aren’t ideal.
No suspension or brake mods are mentioned, though the car has clearly been lowered. The interior looks nice and tidy with heated leather seats, although Sport package items with better side bolsters would be a good add down the line. The M-sport steering wheel is a good upgrade, and the stereo appears to be a factory unit with navigation and steering wheel controls. Note the black trim in place of wood or aluminum-effect. Chassis mileage is quoted as 134k, but the engine is said to have been freshened about 1,000 miles back. Though described as a full rebuild, work listed is limited to a new timing chain, guides, unspecified bearings, water pump, gaskets, and seals. A new clutch and flywheel is noted as well. Helping control all the added power is a 6-speed transmission from an M5. Though some questions about the engine rebuild as well as suspension and brake specs remain, overall this one looks and sounds impressive, and should offer performance (at least in a straight line) on par with a contemporary M5. If so please use the bidding box above.
